of templates in the new pass manager.
The analysis manager is now itself just a template predicated on the IR
unit. This makes lots of the templates really trivial and more clear:
they are all parameterized on a single type, the IR unit's type.
Everything else is a function of that. To me, this is a really nice
cleanup of the APIs and removes a layer of 'magic' and 'indirection'
that really wasn't there and just got in the way of understanding what
is going on here.

templated interface.
So far, every single IR unit I can come up with has address-identity.
That is, when two units of IR are both active in LLVM, their addresses
will be distinct of the IR is distinct. This is clearly true for
Modules, Functions, BasicBlocks, and Instructions. It turns out that the
only practical way to make the CGSCC stuff work the way we want is to
make it true for SCCs as well. I expect this pattern to continue.
When first designing the pass manager code, I kept this dimension of
freedom in the type parameters, essentially allowing for a wrapper-type
whose address did not form identity. But that really no longer makes
sense and is making the code more complex or subtle for no gain. If we
ever have an actual use case for this, we can figure out what makes
sense then and there. It will be better because then we will have the
actual example in hand.
While the simplifications afforded in this patch are fairly small
(mostly sinking the '&' out of many type parameters onto a few
interfaces), it would have become much more pronounced with subsequent
changes. I have a sequence of changes that will completely remove the
code duplication that currently exists between all of the pass managers
and analysis managers. =] Should make things much cleaner and avoid bug
fixing N times for the N pass managers.

manager.
This starts to allow us to test analyses more easily, but it's really
only the beginning. Some of the code here is still untestable without
manual changes to create analysis passes, but I wanted to factor it into
a small of chunks as possible.
Next up in order to be able to test things are, in no particular order:
- No-op analyses passes so we don't have to use real ones to exercise
the pass maneger itself.
- Automatic way of generating dummy passes that require an analysis be
run, including a variant that calls a 'print' method on a pass to make
it even easier to print out the results of an analysis.
- Dummy passes that invalidate all analyses for their IR unit so we can
test invalidation and re-runs.
- Automatic way to print each analysis pass as it is re-run.
- Automatic but optional verification of analysis passes everywhere
possible.
I'm not claiming I'll get to all of these immediately, but that's what
is in the pipeline at some stage. I'm fleshing out exactly what I need
and what to prioritize by working on converting analyses and then trying
to test the conversion. =]

concept-based polymorphism in the pass manager to a separate header.
I got feedback from someone reading the code and trying to use it that
this was really making it hard to dive in and start using these APIs and
that makes a lot of sense.
This only requires a moderate amount of gymnastics to separate in this
way, namely rinsing the PreservedAnalysis object through a template
argument in a few places so that it is dependent and we only examine it
on instantiation.
